Marc Wallice (born Marc Stephen Goldberg^[4] October 3, 1959) is a former American pornographic actor in adult films. He tested HIV positive in 1998 after allegedly hiding his HIV positive status for two years and infecting several women,^[1] sending shockwaves throughout the porn industry. He left the industry but later returned as a director, editor, and writer.^[2][1]

[edit] Adult-film career

Wallice entered the porn industry in 1982 at the age of 22.^[1] He was working as a grocery store bagger when he answered an ad for the World Modeling Agency. He started out with non-speaking roles, but worked his way up to become a very active actor, doing more than 1,300 heterosexual and gay porn movies. He has appeared in many anal sex-oriented films, including Erica Boyer's educational film The Fine Art of Anal Sex/Anal Intercourse, in which he demonstrates basic anal-sex techniques.

He appeared as Don Weber in his only commercially-available gay porn film, A Matter of Size (Huge Video, 1983, Matt Sterling, director). In the movie, he performed oral and anal sex in both the top and bottom roles with Scott Avery and Brian Michaels. However, he has also been involved in a series of photo shoots that involve him, Debi Diamond and assorted males in a series of threesomes in which he and Diamond both have sexual contact with men, and Diamond pegs both Wallice and the other males who participate.

[edit] HIV

It was announced by Sharon Mitchell on April 30, 1998 that Wallice was HIV positive.^[1] Wallice's career was effectively over and there were rumors and speculation that he intentionally hid his HIV positive status with fake blood work and therefore infected several actresses, including Brooke Ashley, Tricia Devereaux, Jordan McKnight, Caroline and Kimberly Jade.^[5][6]
